How To Install science-nanoscale-physics on Debian 9
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install science-nanoscale-physics
on Debian 9.
What is science-nanoscale-physics
science-nanoscale-physics is:
This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to Nanoscale Physics, which corresponds to the study of physical systems typically ranging from 1 to 100 nm in size. The properties of such systems usually depend on the number of atoms they are made of, while this number is still relatively large for an accurate description.
The nanoscale is the meeting point of classical and quantum physics. Previous research efforts were considering either smaller systems, for which everybody could develop their own methods and software independently, or much bigger systems, for which it was clearly impossible to provide a fine-grained description. Addressing the issues raised by the nanoscale requires however cooperative and coordinated efforts in a multidisciplinary context. This metapackage is part of such an endeavor.
You might also be interested in the debtag field::physics and, depending on your focus, in the physics and education-physics metapackages.
